❔ What does "Specify the UNC path" mean when deploying using ClickOnce?
I am attempting to deploy my application using ClickOnce, as per the title. I have set my publish location to the desired folder on a networked server/drive which I want users to install from.
The first image I have attached shows a section of Microsoft's documentation from the page about deploying a .NET Windows application using CLickOnce
This section is describing exactly how I want my application to be installed and subsequently updated by the user. However, it does not explain what A UNC is (I have since found out), or what it is looking for in one.
The page discussing deploying a .NET Framework app using ClickOnce however, gave some more information with an example of a UNC, highlighted in the second image.
I have included my publication wizard to the right of the text showing that it is unhappy with a similarly structured install location (as I write this I realize that the page say it is for PUBLISHING locations of that form, leaving me with even less to go on)
What is Visual Studios asking me for, or where can I find more in depth documentation on this to read through?

Starting in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.8, you can use the Publish tool to publish .NET Core 3.1 or later Windows Desktop applications using ClickOnce from Visual Studio.
Learn about using the Publish Wizard to make your ClickOnce application available to users, including which publishing properties to use.
